Can we talk?

Living Without Computers

         We are so dependent on our computers. My Internet access has been messed up for four days. I was beginning to think my computer was dying. But suddenly, today it's working fine. I've had to play catch up. I used my i-phone to watch some videos I was sent by email. That gets better reception, but I have to use glasses to read the print. My desktop is perfect without glasses. I think I need to change Internet access on the desktop.

         I'm still a little retarded when it comes to the i-phone. I'm sure it has services I'm not using, because I forgot after the initial demonstration, or I just can't see the small screen well enough.

         Anyway, it's been frustrating to be unable to finish certain projects or do work-related programs at home. I don't know how we survived without these little gems of technology. Last minute meetings are called and we miss them if we don't check our phones for text messages or email. I haven't gotten in that habit. I try to avoid texting at all costs.

         However, if you want to do business in the modern world, you have to know social media and the hardware. We older folks just have to invest in magnifying glasses.
